The greatest movie ever made..!

Nice effects though.

Better Late Then Never

Best movie ever!

Spoilers This movie has good points and many unrealistic points. Suzzanne Sommers plays Bonnie a recording artist, who bursts on this beach scene getting tremendous attention from the teenagers who come to the beach. Then the viewers discover as Bonnie does, there are many twists, ties and problems, in the teenagers lives within the story. Bonnie befriends many of the teenagers and almost magically proceeds to straighten things out.Just to add to the charm of the movie are Roseanne Arquette, Tanya Roberts prior to their fame. Not to mention PJ Soles who carries a lot of the movie.Also added to the movie, to, I guess, help make you feel like you're at a beach, are intermixing shots of people walking in front of the action in their bathing suits, every couple seconds.

Before the opening credits someone told the lead to take a vacation, and this movie undoubtedly is. It's not Zuma beach. Just a day on Zuma beach. Fun day to be specific.It looked like they hired 2 guys. One to write the beach's glee. And another to write the unnecessary unrelated talkative scenes in between. I mean don't ask what was the main theme, since seriousness was totally out. The whole thing is about having a nice time. At one indicative moment one guy tells the rest about his old man who's interested in the Middle Eastern crisis then in nanosecond the movie cuts to a close up of a girl's butt moving in rainbow-colored bikini. Enough opinion from the movie towards any seriousness ! It's not a musical beach movie a la the ones of the 1960s. Or a teen beach comedy as the ones of the 1980s. Actually, it's the tamest, less interesting, version of both. However it managed perfectly to be so attractive thanks to the sweet colorful cinematography, the good female bodies in bright swimsuits, the light songs, the sarcastic lines and Suzanne Somers's everything! It's where we not talk about the movie's elements but review the movie's dolls. And seriously they were all HOT! (Kimberly Beck) and her fascinating black bikini (where is such a gal ??), or (Rosanna Arquette) back when she was a hottie. Both were sexier than (Suzanne Somers). Though, who cares ?! The director loved them all. For instance (Lee H. Katzin) just filled up the screen with Somers's assets being all the time in that blue swimsuit, walking, playing and bending! The whole movie was a feast of eye candy. Well, a little feast. But a feast anyway!I wanted the bar's owner to be the storyteller of the story, but there wasn't any. I wanted interesting characters, but there was only a smile.. a beauty.. then a kiss. So who needs characters ? Hence I wanted more beauties (yes, I'm that greedy!) but this is what it is. A TV movie after all. And if they made it just for exploiting Somers's stardom back then, getting ratings, then they hit the mark.My big finish : It's the 1970s's fluff TV at its gayest moment, the last time I saw (Somers) as sexy, and while it's surely not a great movie; it's great as hot time.

I was 15 when this ABC movie of the week came out. Miss Somers being hot off the second season of Three's Company and growing in popularity, was adorable in this beach movie. Shot on the West Coast, the scenery was breathtaking. In 1978, i'm sure that executives at ABC must have wanted to capitalize on this 'Blonde of the hour' but giving her this role. Her acting in this movie was fine. It wasn't a comedy like Three's company, but it was more on relationships and the coming of age with these teenage kids. I liked the way she talked to the teenagers, she was some kind of mother figure to them. Anyway she was real pretty and really approachable. I like Suzanne Somers, i think of all the sex bombs of the 70's she's the one that aged most gracefully.

Hi people. Hey, this movie came out when I was about 21 and I remember feeling about the same way everyone did in this movie. I was in Los Angeles (Hermosa Beach-Hi Terry) and was unsure of myself as were most of the people in this cute movie. O.k, it lacks critical substance and Ms. Sommers seems to glide throughout the movie like her acting is similar to her character of not knowing what is up with her life. But, hey, who hasn't been there, done that, and wondered where there next step in life should be or as in the proverbial saying from my brother in law, Nick, if 'if's and but's were candy and nuts, oh what a wonderful Christmas we would all have. This simply means just watch the movie and quit trying to blame yourselfs for everything in life you did right or wrong which is what all of the characters are trying to cope with here. It is a good movie and a clean one from the long gone year of 1978 and will always remain true to my heart since I live in a land commonly now hated by the Dixie Chicks called Lubbock Texas.... Hey, you all, watch it on a late evening channel and enjoy!!!!!!!
